There the men, after they had unharnessed their horses and fed them in the big barns, wandered about the farm-yard, or squatted on their heels whittling stray pieces of wood while they gos siped—or do men gossip—about neighborhood affairs, crops, pigs or the Presiding Elder. Mean while, the women, doffing their Quaker bonnets and tying aprons about their ample waists, helped mother "set the big table, pulled out its greatest length, and fin ish the dinner. And what a din ner! Quakers were taught in those days that pride in wordly things was sinful, but I smile sometimes when I remember. The women wore little grey bon nets and plain grey dresses, but I have a vivid picture of my mother. Her dress was of Quaker grey, yes, but of silk heavy enough to stand alone and the simple little grey bonnet was as captivating as any tip-tilted lit tle thing of modern times, and much more becoming, and if it wasn’t pridd which I saw in her eyes when folks told her that she was the best cook in the county, then I didn’t recognize pride when I saw it. And as for the men—well if it wasn’t pride that made them buy and drive the finest, fastest horses and the most up-to-date surreys and bug gies, I don’t know what you world call it. But I suppose they, like most of us today, managed to rationalize it into something else. Who cares now? That was long ago and far away, and on ly the memory remains. 1 am very sure, however, that my mother did not think it sin ful to be proud of the table she set. I can see, through the gold en light of years, a chubby grey- eyed little girl swinging a long paper fly brush over that laden table, a table on which—to quote a saying of that day—“you could not lay the flat of your hand” because it was so covered with food. Jams and jellies, the clear translucent pinkness of water-melon preserves, huge plat ters of fried chicken, crispy and brown as only my southern mam my-trained mother could fry it, great tureens of stewed fat hens with tender noodles, plates leaped high with thin slices of Mr. & Mrs. Bruce Bass Proprietors 5 for FARM PRODUCTION! - ■■ ■ ' DISCUSS YOUR PROBLEM WITH US St. Helens Branch United States National Bank .

Much gasoline loss is caused by gradual ring and cylinder wear. Gas mixtures then "blow-by,” compres sion is reduced, performance gets rough. RPM Motor Oil slows this wear ’way down — sticks tight on hot or cold metal surfaces, insures cold motors against extra starting wear, protects critical hot spots on long runs.

Those days are gone, lost in the speed, the restless hurry of modern life. I wonder if our haste, our eager grasping for the things we wish to attain, will bring any result one half so precious as the thing we have lost. There is no time now to enjoy leisurelp visits, no long afternoons to idle away in desul tory conversation while the sha dows slant toward evening and the mists lift slowly across the lower meadow. Perhaps those things remain the same and only we have changed. I do not know. I know only that we cannot go back. We can only remember.
